Where is Lee Harvey Oswald’s body?

The Kennedy assassination is a rat’s nest of conspiracy theories: mafia involvement, the second gunman, government cover-up… but the most important chapter of this sordid tale may just be the theory that the body buried at Oswald’s Rose Hill gravesite is not actually Lee Harvey himself.

Meet the ragtag group of “useful idiots” who are unwittingly brought together to clean up the crime of the century – a wannabe cowboy from Wisconsin, a Buddy Holly-idolizing (former) car thief, a world-weary Civil Rights activist ready for revolution, and a failed G-Man who still acts the part – and specifically, regarding the matter of Oswald’s body.

For fans of Department of Truth and Time Before Time comes an off-kilter crime thriller set in the shadows of history’s greatest conspiracy by Eisner Award-nominated writer, producer, and director Christopher Cantwell (Iron Man, The United States of Captain America) and artist Luca Casalanguida (Lost Soldiers, Scout’s Honor).

For the second year in a row, Local Comic Shop Day® will land on a Wednesday. According to Marco Davanzo, Executive Director of ComicsPRO – the organization that runs Local Comic Shop Day®, “We moved Local Comic Shop Day® from Saturday to Wednesday last year and more stores participated. Because Wednesday is the day that new comics tradionally come out, it made a lot of sense to make that move”.

The goal of Local Comic Shop Day® is to get comic fans into their local shop for the holidays – to celebrate the local comic shop. It’s open to ALL comic stores. Stores do not need to register, although if they register they may get more exposure and potentially order additional items.
